Something new arrives on July 14th. Come celebrate with us!

We’re making an announcement about something new. Something we’ve been working on for a little while. Something that will change the way you interact with Evernote, and, maybe even, change how you think about Evernote.

What is it? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see.

Party down

To celebrate our big announcement, we’re throwing a party in San Francisco. Come out and join us. You’ll get to see what’s new, meet the team, check out some really cool stuff, and unwind with a drink. What could be better? Oh, and there may be some fun giveaways and surprises, too.

This would be spectacular! I am a mechanical designer, and can barely talk without drawing things. i’ve been fiddling with every note/drawing program out there, and have to email from my iPad or iPhone via PDF to Evernote. There’s got to be a better way!

Tying notes to the calendar ala ToDo would be a nice option.

I’m also hoping for password protection on the mobile versions, as I keep a bunch of personal info in Evernote, and don’t like locking the entire Pad/Pod.

Speech to Text — Voice memos are only marginally useful right now but if you could have audio automagically converted to searchable text — now that is something! It also fits the whole ‘image to text’ search feature for pictures & pdfs.

Wow, I’m surprised we are 27 comments deep and I am the first to guess it’s recorded voice recognition and searchable voice notes (most likely from a partnership). Crossing my fingers! It would be even cooler if it translated your voice notes into text and imcluded both the text and original recording in the note.

Well, I hope they don’t hookup with Jott’s transcription. Over a year ago, it was great and worked fantastic – no restrictions or “fancy complex business models,” in Jott.

Then, Nuance bought them, I just canned it two months ago. So horrible and worthless!! People in India transcribe your hard notes, then mark “cannot understand,” when feel tired working.
=================
Yes, I am betting on the Dropbox. Mentioned strongly in the Podcasts. Plus, a “true Evernote client” for BlackBerry is what I need! Don’t care about “on my phone notes,” and all that. However, would just love a “great editor” and shows text appropriately (as possible / if compatible enough? component) to the BlackBerry client, too. (new?!)

I think it will be true calendar functions, perhaps integrated with Gcal. I think many of the functions others are suggesting are coming too, eventually, but true calendaring would fundamentally change Evernote from a trusted, ubiquitous capture tool to a full scale time/project management tool. Oh great elephant, please, let it be.

Dropbox-like features? for those of us that can’t get rid of the concept of files?

I like Jon’s idea too…but don’t they have that integration via reQall?

What about the ability to use Evernote by creating your own workflow (helpful for all those GTDers out there)?

I absolutely agee. ( with the need for a a to-do tool as well as the love for Evernote that is ) Evernote is a great tool for storing and categorising information. But the next logical step would be to look at what actions this information should inspire. Right now the to-do function is far from straightforward. I’m even using the quite backward method of creating a to-do tag for myself, as tags are easier to find.

I’ll be crying right along with you. I’m an iPhone user, but not an iPad user (and won’t likely be for a while,if ever, as I really can’t justify the purchase). If this big tease turns out to be iPad only, I’ll definitely be shedding tears of woe AND frustration. However, I don’t think the nice folks at Evernote would be that mean — I think the big announcement will be about something that will affect all their users. Fingers crossed that it is, as others have speculated, better ways to edit tables and text.

Hate to miss it but I’m stuck here in earthquake country, won’t be able to be up there for the big event. Someone quaff a couple of brews in my stead up there in toasting whatever the new arrival may be.

Wow – LOTS of great ideas. In addition to all of the above, I’d love the ability to enter info by barcode, using the scanner on my phone. On Saturday I saw a book I would love to give as a gift next Christmas. I was able to scan the barcode and add it to my Amazon Wish list. But to get it into Evernote, I took a picture through Evernote and then when I got home I used that note to find the book on my Amazon wish list and then added the Amazon page to Evernote with the tag “Gift” and added the name of the intended recipient to the note. I understand Springpad can already do this.
